This package is a native implementation of the FastCGI protocol, allowing
Haskell to work with any webserver that supports it. It makes no attempt to
imitate the interface of the cgi-3000 and fastcgi-3000 packages, because
that API is tied too heavily to legacy interfaces, as with its handling of
exceptions, logging, and time. Its advantage over those packages is
primarily in the area of clean exception management and better control
structure which allows more versatility in processing requests which are
not simple GETs. In particular, POST of large files should be possible, as
should server-push responses which return content a piece at a time. Also,
of course, as a native implementation, there is no dependency on a C
library, which simplifies the install process.
Version 1.0.3 adds support for the new version of the network package, which
integrates what used to be a separate package, network-bytestring. It also
provides compatibility with (unreleased as of this writing) GHC 7.1.
Version 1.0.2 fixes a bug; response headers are now sent if they have
not already been when fCloseOutput is called explicitly. It also removes
spurious debug output that had been left in by mistake.
